Today I learned that Grand Est region is in northeastern France. From EngNews24h on February 21:

On the evening of February 13, the 80 servers in the Grand Est region were corrupted by a cyber attack. The entire system data was encrypted, and a ransom demand was made. The region has not responded, and is trying to gradually bring the situation back to normal.

The entire IT network in the Grand Est region is compromised. The community was affected by ransomware on February 14, 2020.
